DIXON… State Representative Tom
Demmer (R-Dixon) issued the following statement following Governor Rauner’s Budget
Address on February 14th.

“Governor Rauner was spot-on in
pointing out that we must allow our economy to grow at a faster rate than our
government. He presented a number of
relevant statistics about job growth in our surrounding states. This job growth in nearby states, of course,
leads to fewer opportunities for families and less revenue for government, here
in Illinois. I agree with the Governor
that we must reform our state government to create a better pathway for
citizens of Illinois. I look forward to
the work ahead to accomplish this goal,” said Rep. Tom Demmer following the
speech on Wednesday.
